Hi,
I made a compilation of photos showing probably Lauxaniidae. There is no chance to recognize species by the low magnification, but I think I am right as to Sapromyza (rather common here) and Minettia. The grey one with the striated yellow abdomen could perhaps be a Lyciella? And there were two grey ones sitting on my lilac and eating other flies that looked much like themselves (are there male-eating females like in spiders?). Judging from their habit, I suppose they also belong to Lauxaniidae, but of course I may be absolutely wrong.
Confirmation, correction, and identification would be appreciated!
Thanks, Sundew

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
